⏱️This edition of the National Account’s newsletter is a three-minute read.
👋 G’day everyone, Archie here.
We’ve got a quick one for you today, catching you up on something that caused a big song and dance last year, but is now about to actually happen.
The beginning of Australia’s first National Environment Protection Agency.
"On the one side this body's going to be protecting the environment or upholding the law. But on the other side it's also tasked with fast tracking and approving things in a more streamlined manner. So I think a lot will come down to who the new CEO is."
🗣️ Why did she say that?
In just a few weeks, Australia gets its first ever national environmental cop. Here's what it can do, what it can't, and who's been picked to run it.
For my full breakdown check out today’s video:
Catch-up 👷
Last week I published an interview with Alice Angeloni from Triple J's Hack program.
She spent months digging into the "escape the 9 to 5" course industry. You may’ve seen them on your feed: people promising new and exclusive ways to earn a lot of money and live your dream lifestyle.
One subgenre of these courses targets young men, particularly tradies.
Angeloni spoke to young men who had lost thousands, family members who watched them change and experts who say the law hasn't caught up yet.
She told me how these courses find their targets, what the sales process actually looks like and what to watch out for before you hand over your money.

Thanks for catching up with me. I hope you enjoyed this issue, and I’d love to hear your thoughts. Just reply to this email and I’ll be on the other side 👋
I’ll be back on Wednesday.
Cheers, Archie
